Subject:  [TN] LED failures




Has anyone experienced LED failures while running product through a wave
solder?  I am having some fallout on some LED's.  The component spec.
states that it can handle solder temperature of 260







°C for 5 seconds.  My
solder pot is only at 250°C and a dwell time of 2 seconds.  Can anyone shed
some light on this subject for me?
